Drivers overwhelmingly report severe dissatisfaction with OSTASZEWSKI TRANSPORT. The company operates on a per-kilometer payment model (base 1,750 PLN + kilometers), but drivers consistently claim actual earnings rarely exceed 6,500 PLN monthly. New employees receive basic training (2 weeks) but face long periods without assigned work, despite high recruitment. The fleet consists primarily of 2010-2014 Euro 5 vehicles with extensive mechanical issues (broken ABS sensors, non-functional air conditioning, unreliable autonomous heating). Only Polish drivers reportedly access newer Renault T trucks; foreign/non-Polish drivers remain on older equipment. Infrastructure is poor: parking consists of unpaved mud lots, and workers must pay for hostel accommodation (20km away) from personal funds regardless of residency. Most critically, multiple drivers report wage non-payment upon dismissal, with management falsely claiming fuel overages or other deductions. The company exhibits clear discrimination based on nationality, with significant language barriers and minimal management support.
